CONNIE MEINHARDT

I bought my first DSLR before boarding a plane to Paris, France in 2007. I moved to the land of cheese, baguettes, and macarons to be a nanny for the most lovely French family. That move changed my life. I now appreciate the beauty of the simple things in life. I learned how to explore the world as an adult with the wonder that we see in children. I traveled as much as I could and lived like a native in whatever place I found myself. The French taught me how to live life well, just as children can't help but do themselves... I try to pull those feelings of the sights and sounds and joy that I feel into each Lifestyle session. I want to get the raw emotion and personality of each child into every image I pass on to you. My years as a nanny in Paris and NYC, as well as my time in the classroom has enabled me to work with every age and in between. Photography is my creative outlet that I do in my free time. It's my favorite way to meet the most lovely people.
